186 MAMMALIA. 
The Alcine and Rangerine Deer are confined to the northern 
part of both continents; the Elaphine and Rusine Deer to the 
Eastern World (the latter almost exclusive to the warmer part 
of Asia). All the Capreoline Deer are peculiar to America. The 
only exceptions to these rules are, the Wapity Deer of the Ela- 
phine group is found in Northern America, and the Roebuck and 
pi of the Capreoline group are found in Europe and North 
sla. .
